I've just signed up to the news, and beta-tester if needed.

My usage is almost all local, mostly classical.  Occasional Internet
radio and Spotify is the most I get from elsewhere.

Things I can't live without include:

- the equivalent of Erland's Custom Browse & Scan plugins, plus Dynamic
Playlists.  These make Classical Music tagging a practical reality (I
know users of Sooloos and Sonos that still struggle with getting
consistent tags that make sense)

- a really good web-based interface for a laptop / tablet (I find a
smartphone screen simply too small, but I have an Android one if wanted
for testing)

- output to Touch and squeezelite (the latter has now replaced all my
copies of squeezeplay - the latter was a nuisance to install and
configure on Linux)

- server running on fedora 16 / Vortexbox (my equivalent of a NAS)

I suspect some users would like an equivalent of the wavin plugin, only
more generally compatible.  There are sound sources that can't be
captured via LMS except using wavin.  I've stopped doing this now I am
using a headless vortexbox, but I know others still use it.

I'll follow this project with interest.  I've been slow in finding out
about it since my LMS usage has been stable for quite some time (now on
7.8) and I haven't been dipping into the forum very often (except to get
my usage of squeezelite sorted out).
